[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school, the math 5 teacher either recommends you for AMP 6+ or Grade 6 math, and you then follow that path. Of the kids who don't do compacted math, I'd estimate about 2/3 do on-level math and 1/3 do AMP6+. (And some of the kids who do compacted math also do AMP 6+ rather than pre-algebra.) [/quote]

Okay, thanks.  And the kids who do on-level math 6 in 6th don't take Algebra 1 until 9th, right?  [/quote]

Yes unless they move up on the track[/quote]

Does moving up happen often, do you know, and when do they do it?  Is there a way to do it without missing content and if so how?  Or do they have to self-study/have to be strong enough that missing content doesn't hold them back?[/quote]

DP. This happened to someone we knew. Kid was moved up to 7+ after having done math 6. Apparently improved a lot on the spring MAP-M in 6th grade. However, the school didn’t communicate this to the family ahead of time, so the kid definitely struggled a bit with 7+, especially at the start of the year. Much better to let the family know early so the kid could cover missed content through Khan Academy. [/quote]
